Biodiversity refers to the variety of living organisms, including plants, animals, microorganisms, and ecosystems. It is a key factor in sustaining ecosystems and maintaining essential life processes. Life sciences emphasize the role of biodiversity in enhancing ecosystem resilience against climate change and diseases. Greater biodiversity increases the ability of ecosystems to adapt to environmental changes and supports human needs such as food, medicine, and raw materials. Loss of biodiversity leads to environmental imbalance and negatively affects human health and ecosystems. Therefore, life sciences stress the importance of conserving endangered species and protecting natural habitats. In conclusion, biodiversity is not only a natural resource but a foundation for sustainable life on Earth. Al-Mustaqbal University – the first university in Iraq.
